The story of Dr. Duff $aMadras :$bThe Christian Vernacular Education Society, $c1882. "The story of Dr. Duff" by A. L. O. E. is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. It recounts the life and mission of the Scottish evangelist-educator Alexander Duff, especially his pioneering English-medium education in Calcutta, his evangelistic labors, and the opposition and perils he faced. The narrative emphasizes his faith, stamina, and influence on early Hindu converts and on India’s emergent educated class. The opening of the narrative traces Duff’s devout Scottish upbringing, vivid childhood impressions of judgment and calling, and early deliverances, then his friendship with John Urquhart that crystallizes into a personal resolve to “take up the cloak” of missionary service. It follows his marriage to Anne Drysdale and the harrowing voyage marked by shipwreck, a deckside prayer amid a storm, rescue, and arrival in India after further near-disaster in the monsoon. Once in Calcutta, Duff founds a school that teaches in English (with support from Raja Rammohun Roy), beginning humbly in a cramped room, stirring immense demand and training boys to think rather than memorize. The section closes with the first fruits of his work: the candid doubts and courageous baptisms of early converts such as Mokesh Chunder Ghose and the Koolin Brahmin Krishnamohan Banerjea, and the heartfelt plea “Can I be saved?” from Gopinath Nundi—signaling both the spiritual breakthroughs and the familial and social storms that follow.
